Join us on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at 3 PM (+8 GMT) for our BizTalks webinar with Sunway Medical Centre on the topic All About Cancer.

It will be an in-depth discussion on the topic of cancer. Based on 2021 WHO statistics, an estimated 400 000 children and adolescents of 0-19 years old develop cancer. In high-income countries, where comprehensive services are generally accessible, more than 80% of children with cancer are cured. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), less than 30% are cured. Lack of diagnosis, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, abandonment of treatment are the common causes that can impact the treatment outcome of childhood cancers.

The webinar aims to provide a general understanding of childhood cancers and a glimpse of adult cancers to better equip parents and the larger community in combating cancers. Cancer is not the end, with the right diagnosis, customized treatment, and proper follow-up care, cancers can be beaten.

Malaysia’s current account balance continued to record a surplus of RM15.2 billion in the final quarter of 2021, the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) said.

Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the current account surplus in the fourth quarter of 2021 (4Q21) was driven by exceptionally high net exports of goods with a double-digit growth in prices of commodities.

The goods account registered net exports of RM51.8 billion, the highest since the 3Q08 at RM50.9 billion.

Exports of goods with a contribution of 92% to overall Malaysia’s exports grew at a faster rate to log RM271.3 billion from RM236.6 billion in the previous quarter.
